The broad field science comprehensive major (along with an early adolescence-adolescence education program) is designed to prepare students for early adolescence-adolescence certification in broad field science and upper-level certification in the areas of concentration.

The requirements for an interdepartmental broad field science major include:

A foundation of required courses from each of the five science areas

Students must complete a one-semester survey course or a two-semester sequence in each of the 5 science disciplines listed below.

Each student must complete the two semester sequence in at least two of the disciplines. If only one course is taken in a discipline, it must be the one-semester survey course.

Select approved concentrations in two of the science areas (described below) or select one minor in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science or Physics or complete a second major in Biology or Chemistry.
